GamingBolt: 7 / 10 by Shunal Doke
Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0's battle royale is an iterative upgrade. If you enjoyed the original Warzone, you'll enjoy the new one. The DMZ mode, on the other hand, is new, and a lot of fun thanks to the fact that you're never sure if you're going to run into another player as you try and complete your own objectives.
Dexerto: 4 / 5 by Lloyd Coombes
It appears Warzone 2 is off to a very solid start. It’s worth mentioning there are some technical issues, with Al Mazrah’s huge map taking a little while to load, and the occasional stuttering (mainly on PC), but all-in-all, it feels more stable than Warzone 1 did during its rougher periods. Al Mazrah might just be 2023’s hottest destination if this early taste is anything to go by.
GameSpot: 8 / 10 by S.E. Doster
New additions are fresh for the battle royale, while overhauls to some of Warzone classic features feels like a step backwards.
The main pros of the game
- Gameplay Enjoyment: Many users express enjoyment when playing with friends, especially when they have skill. The game is noted to be fun and engaging, particularly after updates.
- Return to Old Systems: Some players appreciate the return to previous gameplay mechanics, such as the limited inventory for armor and ammunition, which they find more balanced.
- Sniping and Movement: Players find sniping enjoyable again and feel that the new movement mechanics, while different, are quick to learn.
- Performance Optimization: Some users report good performance, with stable frame rates and the ability to optimize settings according to their hardware.
- Variety of Game Modes: The return of different modes (solo, duo, trio, quads) is seen as a positive change, providing more options for gameplay.
The main cons of the game
- Technical Issues: Many users report problems with loading shaders, connection issues, and bugs that prevent them from playing the game.
- Cheating and Matchmaking: There are complaints about a high number of hackers in the game and imbalanced matchmaking, where lower-level players are matched against much higher-level opponents.
- Large Installation Size: The size of the game files is criticized as being excessively large, making installation and updates cumbersome.
- In-App Purchases and Content Loss: Some players are frustrated over losing previously purchased content and cosmetics when transitioning to newer versions of the game.
The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users
- Improved Anti-Cheat Measures: Users desire better systems to combat cheating and ensure fair play.
- More Balanced Matchmaking: There is a call for improvements in matchmaking to ensure that players are matched with opponents of similar skill levels.
- Better Communication About Updates: Some players express frustration about not being informed of updates or facing issues where the game prompts updates that do not exist.
- Enhanced Support for Technical Issues: Users seek better support and solutions for technical problems that hinder gameplay.
Summary
- Overall, while many players enjoy the core gameplay of Call of Duty: Warzone, significant technical issues, frustrations with cheating, and concerns about in-game purchases detract from the overall experience.

Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 Description
Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is an online FPS that is a sequel to the hit 2020 title. The project uses a free-to-play model with micropayments and was developed by Raven Software studio. It was designed to complement the universe presented in CoD Modern Warfare II.
Game mechanics
Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is not particularly different from its predecessor in terms of gameplay. The basic game mode is battle royale, where a large group of players is dropped onto a large map, and the game goes on until only one of them is left alive.
However, it is not completely the same game. Indeed, the developers have prepared a number of changes and improvements. The biggest of these is a completely new map - the desert Al Mazrah. In this area we will find a lot of modern equipment and vehicles.
We will also encounter a number of NPCs on the map. They mainly appear in specific areas. Their AI, on the other hand, is designed to attack players who open fire on them.
One of the hallmarks of battle royale games is a regularly shrinking action zone. In Call of Duty: Warzone 2 this system occurs in a slightly modified version. This is because it can happen that instead of one large area, the map will split into three smaller ones, which will merge only in the final phase of the match.
The focus has also been on limited items. On the map you will find a number of stores where you can buy gas masks, armor and weapons, among other things. However, the number of available items is limited and they may sell out.
An important novelty is the Gulag, where selected participants of the game are sent. It is a multi-level arena filled with loot that can be taken away. To return to the main map, you must defeat an AI-guided guard or win a battle with other players in 2 vs 2 mode.
Game modes
The production offers mainly multiplayer battle royale gameplay.
